Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The original Yukinoshita Yukino wouldn't say such things to her sister, but she had just awakened her soul-manifesting ability and finally become the esper she had always dreamed of being, someone who could be helpful. Plus, after declaring war on Haruno last night, she finally spoke her true thoughts.

“What you can do, I can do too. I'm no worse than you.”

Haruno was dumbfounded.

Wait, she had done that kind of thing with Yozora, but…

Yukinoshita even knew about this?

Who told her? Yozora?

That's ridiculous, right?

Yukinoshita Haruno knew that while Yozora had many tricks up his sleeve and was very skilled in that area, he wasn't the kind of person who would casually tell others about their private matters.

Besides… Yukino was her own sister!

However, Yukino's tone clearly aroused Haruno's competitive spirit.

“Oh, not worse than me?”

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, a hint of provocation in her tone.

“In that case, let's compete next time and have Yozora evaluate who is the stronger one, shall we?”

“Oh, are you very confident in your strength?”

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted softly, not showing any weakness.

“Although you became an esper earlier than me and your spirit power is stronger, I am a proper member of the Occult Research Society. I know more about exorcism-related knowledge than you do, and I won't lose to you in actual combat.”

“Esper? Spirit power… oh, oh.”

Yukinoshita Haruno finally realized what was going on and smiled, seamlessly continuing the conversation.

“Is that so? When it comes to actual combat, we'll see who is stronger.”

Yukinoshita Haruno breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she and Yukino were talking about completely different things.

She thought, how could her seemingly tough and cold, but actually shy and bashful sister suddenly make such shocking and outrageous remarks? It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

However…

Now that Yukino had awakened and become an esper, competing in that area would be inevitable sooner or later, right?

…

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Yukino still looked puzzled, not understanding why her sister's tone seemed a little strange just now, but she didn't care.

After all, Haruno, whose personality was a bit crazy, was bound to be abnormal sometimes.

“It seems that the reason why evil spirits are gathering in Chiba City is because they sensed the aura of the 'Way Gate' appearing…”

Looking at those evil spirits that were running away in all directions after the "Way Gate" disappeared, frightened by Yozora's spirit power, Yagami Light said nonchalantly, and then looked at Yozora, saying calmly.

“Next, what should we do with that fake Kusanagi Sword? Should we break in and destroy it?”

“No, that would be meaningless.”

Yozora shook his head: “Even if we destroy it this time, as long as Atsuta Shrine endorses it, saying that what we destroyed was just a spare replica for emergencies, they will be able to create another spiritual object the next time there is an opportunity to exhibit it. Simple destruction is meaningless.”

Yukinoshita Yukino exchanged a glance with Yozora and said softly.

“What's your plan?”

“I have too many plans.”

Yozora revealed a meaningful smile, looked at Yagami Light, and slowly said.

“Light, didn't you want a famous sword as a weapon? Since they want everyone to think that sword is the real Kusanagi Sword, then let that fake become the real Kusanagi Sword. As for the one in their own shrine…”

Yagami Light understood and also showed a smile.

“That one, of course, is a fake.”

…

That night, Yagami Light, who had just returned to Tokyo, hadn't even had time to lie down and rest when he opened the door to his room and saw a tall, gaunt evil spirit with only one dark green eye sitting on his bed.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Massacre Oni quickly raised his head to look at Yagami Light, impatiently saying.

“You're finally back.”

Yagami Light didn't answer at first, but gently closed the door first, then frowned slightly.

“Why aren't you staying in the Reverse Side? Why did you run to the real world and even to my room?”

“You don't know…”

After Massacre Oni told Yagami Light everything that the black figure had done in the Reverse Side, the latter frowned even more.

“In that case, why didn't you contact me and Yozora sooner?”

Massacre Oni looked speechless.

“Do you see me having a phone? And then think about it, besides you, who else in Tokyo is an esper with 'Observation' qualifications?”

Yagami Light thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Even if Massacre Oni could find a phone in the Reverse Side, there was no signal there. L, the helper who knew the truth of the world, was just an ordinary person and couldn't 'Observe' Massacre Oni's existence.

It was truly a case of calling to heaven and earth without response.

Fortunately, although that black figure tried to attack Massacre Oni while Yagami Light was away, there was still a heavyweight in the Reverse Side of Tokyo, someone who could even fight Yozora for several rounds, Amadeus, who could use multiple soul-manifesting abilities at the same time.

Otherwise, Massacre Oni would have been done for.

Thinking of this, Yagami Light couldn't help but mutter to himself.

“You even considered this… as expected of you…”

Yagami Light sat down at his computer desk, his slender fingers gently tapping on the surface, muttering thoughtfully.

“What exactly does the black figure want to do… Could the serial murder case some time ago also be related to this guy… Forget it, these are things that guy needs to consider.”

Speaking of this, Yagami Light paused, took out his phone, and dialed L's number.

After the call was connected, he didn't exchange any pleasantries, but directly said.

“Help me investigate the transportation route of the Kusanagi Sword after the exhibition at the Chiba City Museum ends.”

“Okay.”

L didn't ask much. With his intelligence, he had already guessed what Yagami Light and Yozora were planning to do when he heard this sentence.

Like to create spiritual objects?

Alright, you create, I return it to its original owner, we're all happy.

L dragged the mouse and searched in the Metropolitan Police Department's database, but frowned slightly and replied calmly.

“There is no record in the Metropolitan Police Department's database. It seems that Atsuta Shrine didn't ask the Metropolitan Police Department to help escort it.”

“I see… they are really cautious enough.”

Yagami Light replied with this sentence first, not showing much disappointment, but nodded slightly.

“It's okay, we still have other intelligence channels.”

…

Meanwhile, in Kyoto, at Kaguya Shinomiya's residence.

"Are you saying... you want me to investigate whether anyone in our Shinomiya Group helped Atsuta Shrine transport the Kusanagi Sword?"

Unyo Shinomiya rested his chin on one hand, looking at Kaguya Shinomiya, who sat across from him with a calm expression, and asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Kaguya, get one thing straight. Although I've admitted my defeat, I have no obligation to help you until you officially become the head of the Shinomiya family. Moreover, investigating our own group's internal affairs is risky and could easily backfire."

Kaguya Shinomiya showed no surprise, as if she had fully anticipated Unyo Shinomiya's response, and simply said softly.

"To be honest, although Father wants me to become the next head of the Shinomiya family, I'm not really interested in these things. Besides... I have more important things to accomplish and don't have the energy or time to waste on this."

"If you're willing to start providing me with assistance within your capabilities now, then after I become the head of the Shinomiya family, I'll only hold the title. I'll hand over all the specific management and operational authority to you, without interfering at all. After all, I'm well aware of your abilities, and you're the most suitable person to manage the Shinomiya family."

"What do you think of this offer?"

Unyo Shinomiya's eyes flickered upon hearing this. After a few seconds, he stood up, a smile appearing on his face.

"Kaguya... you've indeed grown a lot. This is a worthwhile deal. I agree."

Chapter 446: Christina Has Her Own Clever Plan, The Target of the Second Threatening Letter

Meanwhile, having finally returned to the Quanta Society apartment building after spending an entire weekend in Chiba City, Yukino Yukinoshita was exhausted because she had just used her Soul Manifestation ability during the day. She collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she entered, not even sitting up straight as she usually did, showing some of Yozora's slacking spirit.

"Have some coffee."

Only Rio Futaba was in the living room. She didn't even need to ask specifically. Just by looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's appearance and sensing the slight spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from her due to her recent awakening and inability to control it, she could roughly guess what had happened. She immediately poured a cup of hot black coffee and handed it over.

"Thank you."

Yukino Yukinoshita politely nodded in response before taking the coffee cup and holding it in her palms. She took a small sip. The heat and bitterness of the black coffee made her feel a little better, but the exhaustion in her body still couldn't be erased.

"My love."

Yozora handed his phone to Rio Futaba, then chuckled and said.

"This is the intelligence about the incident we encountered in Chiba City, and the subsequent battle plan. I'll leave it all to you to arrange."

"You're starting to act like a hands-off manager again?"

Although Rio Futaba complained with a helpless expression, her body was very honest. She sent an email to Kurisu Makise, who was upstairs, and after she came down to the living room, she began to organize the intelligence she had gathered so far.

Whether it was a coincidence or fate, the three people who happened to be at the Quanta Society apartment building today were the three members with the highest intelligence attributes who usually made plans.

"Hmm... Does the appearance of the 'Doorway' cause the density of evil spirits in the city to increase...? This is new information."

Rio Futaba muttered to herself, thinking that the last time a "Doorway" appeared was in Itomori Town.

Itomori Town, protected by the Connecting Shrine, was not easily invaded by ordinary evil spirits. In addition, Itomori Town was located in a remote area, and the population was not that large, so the number of evil spirits itself was very small, so such an abnormal phenomenon was not noticed.

But Kyoto City was exactly the opposite.

The evil spirit attack led by Shuten-douji caused a large number of evil spirits to pour out from the Reverse Side. Under that density at the time, no one would have noticed whether the number of ordinary evil spirits had also increased significantly.

This time, through the Chiba City incident, Rio Futaba finally confirmed that the "Doorway" has the property of attracting evil spirits, and not after it appears, but for a period of time before it appears, it will show such signs.

"This is very valuable information. In the future, if there is a sudden gathering of evil spirits, we will know that it is a precursor to the possible appearance of a 'Doorway'."

Hearing Rio Futaba's words, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, then thoughtfully said.

"At the time, that Shinto priest at the shrine, according to Yozora's judgment, should also be a spiritualist... Then did they know that the 'Doorway' would appear in Chiba City, so they deliberately arranged the exhibition location and time there... Or is it just a coincidence? If it's not a coincidence, what is their purpose?"

"It's okay."

Yozora smiled, looking indifferent.

"Once I take that guy's memories, I'll know what the truth is."

"Ah?"

Kurisu Makise was stunned for a moment, and hesitated.

"That... are you going to kill that Shinto priest? This..."

"Didn't I say it already?"

Yozora smiled slightly, tapping the table with his fingers, and said softly.

"In this world, I only allow one kind of spiritualist to exist, and that is our collaborator. Other than that... they are all enemies that must be eliminated. Moreover, they are planning some big moves, which is even more intolerable."

"My opinion is the same."

Yukino Yukinoshita's tone was very calm, so calm that Kurisu Makise felt a little unbelievable.

"If that Shinto priest was a benevolent spiritualist, under the circumstances that the black and red vortex clouds appeared at the time and he had already noticed it, even if he didn't want to expose his true abilities, he should have at least taken a look, but he was indifferent and didn't even move his feet at all. This is enough to prove that he doesn't care about the lives of those people in Chiba City at all. In that case, he is our enemy."

"But..."

Kurisu Makise pursed her lips, looking a little hesitant, but after a long while, she finally sighed slightly, her eyes showing a firm color, looking at the three people in front of her, especially Yozora, who was sitting directly opposite her, and slowly said.

"Okay, I believe your judgment."

"That's right."

Yozora first replied with a smile, then raised his chin at Rio Futaba.
